Abstract
In this report, researchers review legislative, institutional, and technological issues relating to future advanced traveler information system (ATIS) developments and enhancements in the Houston region. The research team reports that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) appears to already possess sufficient authority to enter into a variety of possible public/public and public/private arrangements to facilitate and support ATIS development in Houston and elsewhere in the state. Consequently, additional legislation is not deemed necessary at this time. The report summarizes a number of possible public/private business arrangements (i.e., "business models") available for fostering ATIS development in the Houston region. The final chapter outlines a matrix of ATIS business model/ATIS market package alternatives and key analysis criteria to guide further evaluation as to their potential applicability in Houston.
